FiredUp Ep 114 - Practice Activism, Supreme Court, and more!

We kick off this episode with a description of what exactly “Practice Activism” means as we provide information to you with each episode. We will still be issuing our “Calls To Action” to get you motivated on an issue informationally, but now we will be bringing steps to take to make that change real.

We take a brief look at the 2020 election results as our callout to activism, bringing up the fact that although Biden got 8 Million more votes than Trump in the popular vote, the Electoral College vote was decided for Biden by roughly 70,000 votes overall. Who controls the elections? We look at the process and the actors that run the state elections along with what conservatives are trying to do to change the rules.

The President gave his first State of the Union address this past week. We look at some of the key points. We also open up the Republican response and compare and contrast the statements made and we factcheck both sides, looking at strengths and weaknesses of the arguments and rhetoric.

We talk briefly about historic Supreme Court Justice nominee Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson being the first Black Female nominated to the High Court.

March 7th marks the 57th anniversary of the Civil Rights march across the Edmund Pettus bridge in Alabama, also known as the “Bloody Sunday” march where marchers, including a young John Lewis, were pushed back, beaten and arrested by state police and National Guard.
